An explanation of the paradoxical behavior of the residual resistivity ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{0}$ of the heavy-fermion metal CeCoIn${}_{5}$ in magnetic fields and under pressure is developed. The source of this behavior is identified as a flattening of the single-particle spectrum, which exerts profound effects on the specific heat, thermal-expansion coefficient, and magnetic …
